Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas) was caught going on a profanity-laden and abusive tirade against a staffer who according to her, is named something like “f***ing idiot.”
"You took a piece of paper from that woman regarding something that was owned by Duncantell. Where is it? What date was it?" Jackson Lee asks the staffer.
The staffer tells her he gave the piece of paper to “Jerome,” who apparently took it upstairs, and that he will call this Jerome — before she cuts him off.
"I don’t want you to do a [expletive] thing," Jackson Lee says. "I want you to have a [expletive] brain. I want you to have read it. I want you to say, ‘Congresswoman, it was such and such a date.' That’s what I want. That’s the kind of staff that I want to have."
Jackson Lee continues to call both of her staffers “f***-ups” and says they’re “two [expletive] big-ass children idiots” who “serve no [expletive] purpose.”
“That’s about as honest as I’ve ever seen Sheila Jackson Lee be,” Eric July tells Sara Gonzales, laughing.
Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson thinks in a different context, it’d be a welcome tirade.
“We should hire someone to say that to everyone in Congress,” he jokes.
